Again, that's an issue with '|', not -auto.  I'll remove the
recommendation in the man page not to use -auto, and add one
to not use %a with '|'.  That seems like an odd combination,
though maybe it'd be useful for things like responding to
calendar requests.  Though I wouldn't do that from mhstore.
